Happy Track Tuesday! I hope your workouts last week were fantastic! Did you try incorporating any of my suggestions from last week’s Track Tuesday into your running playlist? If so, please leave a comment and tell me what you thought!
Every Tuesday I will be sharing some of my favorite songs to run to, last week’s songs were all instrumental tracks, but this week I’d like to change it up and showcase some songs with lyrics I find especially motivating! Click the title to go straight to a video for each song and listen now!
1. T-Ferg ft Meech New Era -Keep Pushing
I first heard this song during a workout very early on in my fitness journey. It was within the first week or so of joining the gym. The song begins with a sample of a motivational speech by Eric Thomas where he says “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful.” and from that point on something in my brain decided that success would be my oxygen! That speech combined with lyrics that tell you to overcome your obstacles through hard work and dedication make ‘Keep Pushing’ a great song to run or workout to!
Ok, so not all the lyrics apply to my life and he doesn’t use the most wholesome words out there, but with it’s military cadence (left, left, left, right, left…) and lyrics like:
Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you. You gotta find that inner strength.
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation not to give up.
And not be a quitter no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
This is the perfect song to run to when you want to push your body to its absolute limit!
3. Eye of the Tiger – Survivor
This needs no explaination. It was good enough for Rocky so it’s good enough for me and you, mmmkay?
Enjoy your runs this week! Let me know how you like these songs, and as always I’d love to hear some of your favorites so leave them in the comments!
